I agree. I think the whole 'Koda-copied-Beyonce' thing is utterly stupid anyway. People seem to think if two artists use the a similar concept then its copying, even though the actual content of the music video is executed differently. And when I last checked you couldn't copyright something as vague as a concept. A concept is a concept, whether its inspired by history, fashion, or a certain country. Of course more than one artist is going to use a similar setting.

'SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA' reminds me much more of the old black & white 1920's/40's sailor girl pin up photos and videos, (which is what 'Candy Man' was probably also inspired by) which was obviously chosen to match the theme of the album. mixed with a high fashion set (hence the other shots of her being shot in high fashion). The dance style looks similar to the Charleston dance too in places, from the 1920's.
